If you don’t mind staying somewhere that the management has total disregard for the safety and well-being of their clientele then this is your place! Last October a friend and myself stayed three days to do a little shopping and relax. The weather was warm. We both brought our winter coats with us and while I was shopping I had purchased a long sweater coat which I hung in the closet under the coat I had brought. By then it was evening. We used the voucher for our “complimentary 1 drink”, took a stroll up and down the beach and return to the room. The next day before check out we noticed

Let the truth be told about this place. I have been staying for 15 years and have had bad experiences after bad experiences but I go back cause it’s most convenient in town. This weekend was my LAST weekend ever. I was charged a extra $200 for hair dye on the shower curtain. They try saying it was on the wall on and floor that’s a lie. And it doesn’t take $200 to clean that. But last year when I stayed there in there was someone smoking pot in one of the room and woke my son up at 3am they did nothing about it, or when I check in a room and found trash every where they did nothing for us

Scaled back menu. Drinks were good and strong. Bluegill entree very tasty. Had the Parmesan mashed potatoes instead of fries.Huge portion and soooo good. I could've made a meal out of them. Cole slaw portion was too small and served in a plastic take out cup instead of a bowl. The view of the bay was lovely.

I have stayed at this hotel in the past and somewhat hesitant to stay at the hotel again. However, I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the new renovations. I would also like to mention that our server in the lounge for two nights, Destiny, was excellent especially working under short staffed and crowed conditions. Kudos to you Destiny! I was not happy with the way our reservations were handle when we checked in. Upon checking we were told that the charges were higher than what the confirmation was. The biggest insult was that the person at the reservation desk made no effort to even look

The restaurant was awesome great and this was our second stay two different times restaurant was always good! The front desk was awful on check out! Same person extremely rude both times! We will not return! You pay for your room and get treated like garbage. I've read several reviews about the front desk they messed up our cc the first time with the free appetizer we were charged so she was aggravated with that, but not sure what was up this last time in October

Definitely the best hotel in the area. To be honest I was not expecting very much as it is not a branded hotel but I was very pleasantly surprised at the cleanliness of the property and the attitude of the staff. They are some of the most friendliest people that I have met in hotels. The rooms are very nice and very large and the views of the water are awesome. If you're in Tawas have got to stay here.

It was great and I had a great time! I'd like to give this about a 3.5 but that isn't a choice. The gym equipment was all tore up and most didn't work. Smelled really weird I'm the gym. Room was super clean and the jacuzzi was heavenly. Tho I believe there should be a pool limit time for little kids. They screamed all night and I wanted to swim but it was obnoxious and I didn't get to. Beach is awesome with providing tons of floaties along with two bars. Tons of stuff around to go to. Amazing.

I ate here because I was staying at the hotel and did not want to go out. I had the blackened salmon and asked for it medium - it was rare to med rare. They re- broiled it and it was much better. One of my sides was brussel sprouts which they apparently cook w syrup and bacon. The sprouts were undercooked and dripping in thin maple syrup. My guess is it was supposed to be a thicker sauce. Not the best meal in town by a long shot. The waitress brought my bill without asking me if I wanted another glass of wine or dessert.

We decided to try this restaurant for dinner. It was a nice, beautiful bay view option for dinner. I had the honey chicken and was really impressed how good it was and how different it is from other local fare. The waitress was very accommodating, and everyone in my party enjoyed their dinner. The views are outstanding and the restaurant is very comfortable.

Stopped in to Bayside twice now as they are one of the few restaurants in the area to offer healthier vegetarian or vegan options. I spoke with the manager on my first visit and he hopes to add more items to the menu. The food was delicious, servers were courteous and there was no problem with service. There are also lots of options for those who like a traditional American diet. The view of Tawas Bay from inside the restaurant is beautiful. Basically I was shocked that both times there was only one other table of guests. My only suggestions for them is their soda/ice tea seem to taste off so

Service was great. Location is convenient. Don't let the outside appearance of the hotel deter you. This is a hotel restaurant but the view is great of the bay, right on the lake. Wife had the taco salad and loved it. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was great. I thought it was supposed to come with coleslaw but maybe I misread the menu. Hmm... Daughter had the chicken Alfredo. Although she like the chicken, she claimed the pasta and Alfredo was bland. I tried it and agreed. It didn't have any flavor. We each had key lime pie and WOW. This pie reminded me of key lime pie Ive

I've commented on this business previously but they have been removed.
Stopped in for breakfast and it wasn't too busy but it took some time to be served coffee. I gotta have my coffee!
I tried the Oatmeal w/Banana Bread slices.
It was very good. The Oatmeal was creamy and tender. The Banana Bread was simply awesome.

: This is a restaurant which is part of the East Tawas Bay Hotel. It has changed its menu within this calendar year but I was impressed with the new menu items, there were some really unique options.
You will find salads , appetizers, lunch (Handhelds) -these items include sandwiches, burgers, pizza and soup .
There is also a bar next to the restaurant. You can get the latest trend beverages or wine
I didn't see the dinner menu, although I can only imagine it is more than likely mouth watering. I highly recommend the restaurant and my compliments to the chef .
